Cui Hao went to invite the old man to come over and teach Zilan to learn Pai Gow, entertainment, take the opportunity to teach her, it is also necessary, go to Cui's house, the old man and daughter-in-law like to play a few games, she will not be a little embarrassed.

"I forgot, Lan'er doesn't know how to play these, she was very busy in those years, and she was so busy that it was a luxury to sleep, so she didn't have time to play these, by the way, what else is there, let's think about it, teach her for half a year, you don't need to be proficient but you have to understand a little bit to speak."

The third grandfather smiled and spoke, with distress in his eyes.

"Yes, there are also leaf cards, Lan'er won't either, these things are the most suitable for ladies to socialize, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law play a few games, and this will be able to talk."

The second grandmother also smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll learn, what's so difficult about this, I'm sure I can learn it."

Zilan rolled up her sleeves, what's the big deal.

The old people and Zilan sat around a table, Cui Hao gave her a staff officer, taught her how to play cards, what the rules are, what are the particulars, Cui Hao showed the ability to be exquisite, and coaxed the old man and Zilan very happy, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

Everyone played a few laps, had lunch together, and in the afternoon, Cui Hao played polo with her, kicked a juju, and then reluctantly left.

During this time, Zilan's task is to learn the games that Miss Jingcheng and her wife like to play, just one word, play. Make up for what you owe, which is also very necessary to communicate with each other in the future, you can't go out and talk to people to talk about business and money, people are not interested in who takes care of you.

It's August, the Queen Mother summoned her, and she wanted to enter the palace for an audience.

I deliberately wore a new aqua blue mid-waist skirt, with a long skirt of the same color, looking fresh and clean, and it was enough to have a good impression.

"The courtiers greet the Queen Mother, and wish the Queen Mother a long and healthy life."

The Queen Mother looked at the kneeling people below and nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, get up quickly, give me a seat." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Zilan got up and sat on the embroidery pier.

"I have asked you to tell you something."

"Queen Mother, please command, but I will never shirk what I can do."

Zilan immediately stood up and said that her attitude was respectful.

"Well, you are a good boy, the level of perfume is very high, the prince and the envoys of the Great Food Country want to come to the audience together, and specially brought the incense products of the Great Food Country, and according to the previous customs, there are programs to entertain the officials.

I heard that this prince is a master of perfumery, in order not to make me ugly, I must choose a perfume expert to come out to fight, after thinking about it, I think you are very suitable, and your identity is also the county lord, what do you think? ”

"The courtiers have the pity of the queen mother and the emperor, and they should share the worries of the queen mother and the emperor, but they are worried that they are not competent, and they don't know how high the prince's craftsmanship is? It's a matter of royal face, and it should not be taken lightly. ”

Zilan has no other choice but to face the battle, this is just to inform her, but the attitude should show that it is good to be cautious.

"If you think thoughtfully, you know that you are a steady and careful person. I've heard that you can concoct the rose flower dew of the Great Food Country, and there is generally no such thing? ”

The Queen Mother also knew a lot about her, and she was more satisfied with her, otherwise it would be impossible to agree to canonize her as the county lord.

"Courtiers like the taste of rose dew, and have indeed studied it for many years, and my grandmother has a tribute to the dew, and I have compared it not much different.

But how do the people of the big food country determine whether there is a difference between this, I am not sure, flowers have a lot to do with the soil, climate and environment, I selfishly think there is still a difference. ”

She replied cautiously, not wanting to say big things, leaving some room for herself.

"What you say makes sense, but it is not easy for you to cultivate rose flowers in the climate of the capital, and it is not easy to study the rose flower dew, no one in the capital can do it except you, this skill is enough to meet the prince of the Great Food Country."

The Queen Mother was also very satisfied with her cautious and cautious attitude.

Zilan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then stood up again and bowed, "The courtiers are willing to fight the prince of the Great Food Country and raise the prestige of our country." ”

"Well, you can't let the prince lose face, but the emperor's face must also be saved, you can grasp the proportions yourself, you need to explain to Mama Li in advance, let her prepare."

"If the Queen Mother can agree, I think everything can be prepared by herself, first, to prevent leakage of news, and secondly, my own spice-made incense is more sure in my heart."

Zilan is used to being cautious, there are many people in the palace, and if something happens, it can be very troublesome, and the incense is easy to be poisoned.

The Queen Mother suddenly smiled and smiled at Mama Li beside her, "Look, this is what it looks like to have a hill and a valley, no wonder the emperor ordered her." ”

Zilan's eyebrows moved slightly, it turned out that the emperor ordered her to fight.

"The Queen Mother praised it."

"In this case, you can prepare it yourself, and when the people from the big food country come, they will notify you in advance, oh yes, you will wear an official uniform at that time, the big red one, the little girl will wear the best."

The official uniform that the queen mother said was the dress of the county lord, and there were two sets when she entered the palace to meet her, and they had been sent to the Song family.

A set of bright red dresses is the one used to meet the saints, and the whole body is blue, which is worn by the sacrifices, for example, the national filial piety is worn in blue.

"Yes."

After saying goodbye, the Queen Mother came out of the palace and went out of the palace gate to see Ziyan and Cui Hao waiting for her by the carriage.

Wan Er smiled and walked up quickly, "I got an errand, I don't think it's a big deal, let's go back and talk." ”

Zilan mentioned it slightly, and planned to go home and talk about it in detail.

"Good. The family is waiting for you at home, let's go back to the old house. ”

Ziyan helped her sister into the carriage.

Leaving the palace gate, Zilan spoke, "The Queen Mother came to me for the prince of the Great Food Country to meet her, and she wanted to try the matter of fighting incense, hoping to let me come to the battle, I lost last year and the year before last, and the emperor's face was not good." I resigned the kindness of the Queen Mother and went home to prepare the spices and things I needed. ”

"Yes, you did it right, the incense is easy to have accidents, it's best to handle it yourself."

Cui Hao immediately nodded and agreed with her decision, I was afraid that on such an occasion, it would be troublesome if someone made trouble.

"Brother, the red body of my official uniform is a little too fat, I want to find an embroidery girl to collect it for me, and the Queen Mother said to wear this."

Zilan remembered that the dresses were all fat, so you have to change them yourself, and you can make sure that you can definitely wear them.

"Oops! This thing has regulations and can't be changed randomly, so your sister-in-law embroiders well, and I'll ask her to help you change it. ”

Ziyan thought about it for a while, for the sake of prudence, let her daughter-in-law change it, her sister's craftsmanship will never be able to take it.

"Okay, then it's going to trouble my sister-in-law."

"What spices do you need, I'll prepare them for you?"

"No, I have it, I have to go back and think about what kind of incense to make, I have to make more, just in case, the flower dew also needs to make some, the people of the big food country are good at making flower dew and fragrant wine, I have to make the fragrant wine I made before."

"Let's make some other wines, as long as it's good, there's nothing you don't like, especially men."

Cui Hao also helped with ideas.

"Okay, I'll prepare a few more pots."
